Talent Match: The Bigger Picture
Talent Match is a £108million investment aimed at tackling youth unemployment in 21 areas of England hardest hit by the economic downturn. It will support young people who are furthest away from being work-ready to secure employment or take up enterprising opportunities. Talent Match is a five-year investment for young people aged 18-24 who have not been in employment, education or training (NEET) for 12 months or more, and need particular support to help them into work. The investment was co-designed with young people and will continue to have young people at the heart of decision making throughout the programme.
